	<li> libtiff/{tif_dirread.c, tif_jpeg.c, tif_luv.c, tif_ojpeg.c,
	tif_pixarlog.c, tif_write.c}: Handle the zero strip/tile sizes
	properly (Dmitry V. Levin, Marcus Meissner).

	<li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Type of the TIFFTAG_SUBIFD field changed
	to TIFF_IFD.

	recognize and reject to open such images. ;-)

	<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Initialize td_tilewidth and td_tilelength fields
	of the TIFFDirectory structure with the 0 instead of -1 to avoid
	confusing integer overflows in TIFFTileRowSize() for striped images.

	<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Initialize td_tilewidth and td_tilelength fields
	of the TIFFDirectory structure with the 0 instead of -1 to avoid
	confusing integer overflows in TIFFTileRowSize() for striped images.

	<li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Fix bug with tif_foundfield and reallocation
	of tif_fieldinfo as per bug
